Delivery Status Failure Notice That Packed A Wallop

This morning in my abuse@ inbox I had an email that appeared to come from one of my users.  It appeared to be the typical Delivery Status Notification Failure.  
As the mail admin and abuse coordinator for a small ISP it is not unusual for the customers to forward these notices to me with a request to determine why
they can't email.  

As I have done a few hundred times in the past I right clicked on the failure notice to look at the reason given by the NDR.  Imagine my shock when my
computer immediately began running JAVA.  I immediately killed the process and booted my computer into safe mode so that I could try to determine the
just exactly what had happened. As soon as the laptop booted up my AV and Windows Defender both reported that I had Trojan.bredo.  I ran my cleanup
and researched the characteristics of this Trojan and the files that are altered.  About 2 hours later it appears that I was able to recover from this attempt
to infect my computer. 

I just wanted to give you a heads up.  It looks the scumbags are now using NDR and Failure reports to attempt to further their malicious activity.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
